Hi. I just want to say THANKS for this video. I have bought and fixed a gba sp mario edition with that bridge

The light is a color I have never seen on mine…. I’m serious I can’t identity the color it’s like a color that only exists in imagination. Some pls help.

Ds Lites, DSi’s and DSi XL’s shell swaps are NOT for first time modders. You may be able to pull it off but its a fairly complex disassembly and reassembly. Ive modded so many handhelds but always dread working on these theyre a pain in the ass lol.

Hello. So my psu has the orange light however I have managed to get it to run most of the time by opening up the psu and using an external fan keep air flowing over it. Although Every now and then it’ll shut off out of no where. I then have to mess with the fan, the speed of the air flow, or even turning the fan off till it stays on. I try each thing till it turns back on. L The capacitors aren’t bulging and I can’t tell what is causing it to shut off when it’s all put back in its case and I’m not blowing air directly over the circuit board. Do you have any tips as to how I can find what’s causing this problem?

Hi thank you for the video, would you be kind to give me a link to find new house case for DSi XL ? Thank you. I can only find 3DS XL case :/

Hey @italianretroguy can I send you mines to get reshelled ...?

How would you say the aftermarket DSI XL shells compare tot he originals?

This sucked you didn’t show anything needed

I loved how you just fixed a kids switch, that is amazing! ^^ it's actually what happend to mine about yesterday, mine was fried by a computer charger. I would love to ask if you have any tips for me at home. Love the video 🤍

thanks, my gba sp is charging again, but only if the gba sp is powered on

I can report that this video saved my gba sp. Another one saved!

This worked for me thanks!

Hey man, is there any way to contact you? Im thinking of getting my dsi back to its prime after its continued use of over a decade. Willing to pay too as this means a lot to me

i have the same one

skipped the 2 small ribbon cables, disliked for this, if your gonna show people how to open a console thats worth 100$ maybe do it correctly,

🤯👍

Great work bro! I didnt see this in the description, but do you also get the replacement parts from aliexpress?

Helo there!! Thank you soooo much!! I could revive my old sp! I tried everything power switch, power regulator EM8, cleaning with IPA the charging ports, changed the ports..., changed even the power regulator and with this video which you have explained super it worked!!

I love your channel

Thank you sir, you saved my SP

I just replaced my capacitors but it still is just orange. What could be the problem? Its white before i connect to the console, but if i conect to the console, it remains white. If i connect to the console before switching on power, it remains orange.

I have a problem I found it when I changed the case of my game boy advance sp and in the corners of my screen some white spots began to form, I just loosened the screws to see if it was that, I hope it’s not permanent 😢😢😢

Should have dissipated those capacitors to be shure they were no longer live. That can really hurt you. Or at least show a disclaimer for your watchers.

OH HELL NAH this is such a pain in the ass project i ain't gonna be doing non of this

I have two GBAsp, one working and one not. I get the charge light to come on for a second before it cuts off again. I tried repeatedly plugging it in for 15 minutes like some people say to get it working and nothing. Both batteries work in the working device, and neither work in the other. Any tips?

Ho lo stesso e identico dsi e ho bisogno urgentemente di ripararlo 😢

Thank You man !!

Followed this guide and was able to repair one of my SP's. Great stuff you Champion!

I know I'm late to the party here, but I just have to thank you for this video. I've had an AGS-101 motherboard here for years that wouldn't charge. Tried everything. This finally fixed my problem. Thank you 🙏

There is a REAL danger of doing this yourself if you don't know what you are doing.

The tool you used in taking out those black screws, what's it called please ?

So your video has really helped me... I have one I am trying to fix that has an interesting charging problem. F2 is good, the trace is good from F2 to D1, and it has a brand new battery. When charging the orange light comes on, and will stay on for some time then go out, unlike the more typical problem that the light goes out almost immediately. I would love any suggestions you may have.

Car

Do you still take repairs? I have an issue with my DSi XL and I don't trust myself to fix it myself lol.

THANK YOU!! You saved one of my Gameboys. Awesome tutorial 🎉

Yes thanks i just saved money and fyi if you have a old xbox 360 power brick lating around like i did they use the same capacitors lol im cheap so glad i checked i didn't wanna wait and spend money but it worked thanks man

Thank you so much ❤

I have same issue, did you ever revisit this?

Where did yo get the shell from?

clean soldering job bro

I would have never thought to pull up the metal shield and replace only the slider. Fantastic video, thanks.

The switch has a ton of design flaws.

My d1 is vertical and my f2 is also vertical, will this change the point that I solder on my d1?

The shell swap for this seems to be easier compared to the ds lite, being that you don't have to feed the wifi antenna under the card reader lol. Had to replace a charging port not too long ago and re-feeding that wire almost made me lose my mind! Looking around at expanding my collection with a dsi xl, but the yellow ones are Japanese region locked so I think I'm just going to swap internals. Thanks for the vid 👍

0:46 I am currently having this same problem on the same DSi XL, any pressure applied on or near the X and A restarts or shuts down device. I took it apart and made sure everything was properly connected but the problem kept happening. I am wondering what connector you connected to solve this problem. Thanks in advance
